Regarding the future outlook of ETH, let me share what I see from a larger timeframe.

Looking at the monthly and weekly charts, Ethereum's structure is actually quite clear—a fairly standard head and shoulders bottom pattern is gradually playing out. The left shoulder is roughly around 2100, then the head was formed, and now it's in the phase of testing the right shoulder. The key point is that the right shoulder has never broken below the low of the left shoulder, which itself sends a very strong signal. As long as there is an effective breakout of the neckline later on, the head and shoulders bottom pattern will be fully confirmed.

What does this mean? If you started accumulating ETH below 2000, there's really no need to watch the market every day or to have a panic. Your position already aligns with the pattern, so just hold on. The market logic is in your favor. Conversely, those who are wavering—who neither dare to hold firmly nor stop fantasizing about a sharp drop to buy—are the ones most likely to be shaken out at critical points.

There are also people saying they pursue certainty and don't mind slightly higher costs, waiting for a breakout signal before acting. This logic also makes sense—the technicals already give the answer: just wait for the breakout. But you need to think more clearly: once the breakout of the neckline occurs, the price is likely already above 5000. At that point, your buying nature changes—you’re following the trend, not bottom-fishing anymore.

I also notice some people constantly talking about ETH returning to three digits. Honestly, this expectation is already somewhat detached from the cycle. In the last bear market bottom, ETH was at 880, and Bitcoin was at 17,000. Afterward, Bitcoin continued to drop to 15,000, but ETH's 880 never broke again. Now, ETH has just hit a new high, and some are already hoping for three digits? Logically, that doesn’t add up.

My own strategy is to start accumulating ETH in batches around 2000. It might not be the absolute bottom, but it’s definitely a level where I can place bets. Think about it—if it really drops to three digits, it basically means the entire market has exploded. In that case, most people wouldn’t have the courage to buy; they’d just watch and think it could fall further. Instead of fantasizing unrealistically, it’s better to accept a reality: when the trend begins to show, you need to have some guts.

The market has never rewarded those waiting for the perfect entry point; it only rewards those who dare to act in the right direction.
